Episode notes
Care Can Fuel Action Not Panic
- Care both softens the heart and ignites motivation to act rather than just worry.
- Let that energy direct you toward meaningful action instead of rumination and imagined futures.
Choose One Practical Way To Help
- Identify one concrete way your care can help, aligned with your resources and values.
- Do things like donate, offer time, share skills, or support someone personally rather than trying to match social media responses.
Limit News And Set Boundaries
- Limit news intake and choose reputable sources to avoid retraumatization and overwhelm.
- Set boundaries like one source per day or switching off after a set time to protect your capacity.
